In Nashville, Tennessee, a 68 year old weight loss doctor said he was in the process of buying his girlfriend a swimsuit at a register in Macy’s when two men ran by him grabbing his wallet off the sales counter as they passed.
He ran after two men who he said stole his wallet, firing his gun at them multiple times.
This was just outside the Green Hills Mall shopping center at around 9 p.m. Police responded to multiple 911 calls, according to Metro Police spokesperson Don Aaron. |

"two men ran by him grabbing his wallet off the sales counter as they passed."
You call them shoplifters, despite the fact that they were not shoplifting store merchandise, I call them muggers.
Shooting at the fleeing perps was probably a crime, but if so, it was malum prohibitum, not malum in se, and I'd nullify the prosecution if I was on the jury.

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
